Social media hashtags

The template also automatically adds links to search Twitter and en.osm.town for a hashtag derived from the page title. But these links are hidden by default to avoid overloading the interface with links (that might yield no or only partially relevant results).

You can enable the display of these links by adding the following line(s) to your common.css:

#channel-en-osm-town { display: initial !important; }
#channel-twitter { display: initial !important; }

The admins have been requested to create MediaWiki gadgets for this, so that the display of the links can be enabled by just ticking a check box in the preferences.
